Smallpox Vaccine Has the Pox

BioShield Bill turns Pharmaceuticals
into BioWeapons Factories

The
BioShield Bill currently making its way through Congress gives $6
billion dollars of taxpayer money to the major pharmaceuticals to
subsidize the development of drugs and vaccines as "countermeasures"
to possible biological and chemical attacks. The bill pays for the
warehousing of drugs and vaccines for which the FDA has granted a
special exemption from the usual approval process to allow the
countermeasures to be fast tracked through FDA approval and used on
the public with no human testing at all, an unprecedented step
for an industry that is already the 3rd leading cause of death in the
United States.

The
pharmaceutical industry sustains a generally excellent reputation as
most people believe the drug companies always put safety first in
their humane mission to develop medicines to heal the sick. But the
facts belie this gentle reputation - between 100,000 and 200,000
people die each year from correctly prescribed medications in
the hospital alone, not including drug induced deaths occurring
outside the hospital or from incorrectly prescribed medications.
Compare these numbers to the 65,000 dead American soldiers during the
entire Vietnam war or the 20,000 dead from the initial chemical
release in the Bhopal disaster. No other industry is responsible for
such a shockingly high death rate repeated year after year, a death
rate that would probably cause great alarm and Congressional hearings
if it occurred in any other industry. And yet even these numbers are
underestimated as David Kessler who ran the FDA for much of the 1990s
has stated that from 90-99% of all adverse drug reactions are never
reported, which would make the actual death and injury rate from
legal drugs astronomical.

Bush's Smallpox Program Fiasco

Looking
at Bush's Smallpox Vaccination program reveals the kind of
unscientific and fraudulent thinking on the part of the
pharmaceuticals that leads to these kinds of death and injury rates.
When the program began, Bush called for vaccination of 500,000 health
care workers, the so-called "first responders" to a possible
biological attack of smallpox. In the months leading up to the
program, the mainstream media informed us that the public could
expect 1 to 2 deaths per million from the vaccine and a serious
adverse reaction rate of 1 in 4,000. However, there is no basis on
which to estimate the death and injury rates for adults taking the
vaccine since there has never been a single long term study on the
safety of the smallpox vaccine, or in fact, on any vaccine,
another fact that is consistently suppressed from the public.

Because of the exorbitant number of
deaths and injuries, multiple states suspended the program in the
spring of 2003 and Bush's smallpox program essentially ground to a
halt. As of June 2003, approximately 35,000 civilians (including the
several hundred embedded reporters) of various ages and health status
have been vaccinated, which gives us an initial test group from which
to draw some conclusions. Of the 35,000 civilians vaccinated, 3 have
died, which makes the death rate 80 times higher than we had been
told to expect. And yet even in mainstream media articles about the
deaths in the smallpox program, the public continues to be misled
with the old, inaccurate numbers rather than the newly updated and
much higher death rate. And serious adverse reactions which result in
hospitalization, permanent disability and life threatening illnesses
including heart attacks, heart inflammation, brain encephalitis,
uncontrolled ulceration of the skin and more, turns out to be 1 in
583, 7 times higher than the CDC's original guesstimate of 1 in
4,000.

However,
it is virtually certain that even these increased death and injury
rates are inaccurate and much higher than reported. First, the
official definition of "serious" reactions discounts some effects
that most of us would consider serious, such as the young, healthy 20
year old volunteers in a test before Bush's program began who
stated that the pain in their arm after vaccination was so intense
that they wanted to "cut their arm off." There were reports of
fevers so high and infections so uncontrolled that antibiotics were
given to 30% of the participants. If vaccination occurred on a mass
scale as planned, the hospitals would be flooded with hundreds of
thousands of acutely ill victims who would be unable to get
treatment, overwhelming the system and increasing the death toll.

Also
omitted from mainstream media is the fact that the federal reporting
system is not mandatory, and that the time frame in which
adverse reactions are noted is a vague "three to four weeks". As
any doctor who treats, or person who has suffered a serious chronic
health problem knows, it takes time for the body to develop and
display disabling symptoms of a chronic disease. Just because the
causative factor is a vaccine does not mean that serious, chronic
illnesses will surface quickly and suddenly, or that they will be
"easier" conditions to treat than "regular" chronic
illnesses. The fact that the causative factor was an avoidable
event–the vaccine–is even worse, as the recipients may continue
to suffer from serious illnesses such as chronic heart conditions
over time, which the medical profession will then deny was related to
the vaccine.

Because
they are not doing any kind of vaccine trial comparing vaccine
recipients to a healthy control group, the opportunity to accurately
track the first 35,000 has been squandered and future participants
are being recklessly endangered. How simple it would be to design and
require a mandatory reporting program that allows adequate time for
reactions to surface and tracks the recipients of the vaccine for
many months and then years, especially since the current recipients
are all health care providers who understand the need for, and would
be readily available to report back any and all effects. Good science
demands it, and it can only be fear of recording the true
consequences of the vaccine that is preventing it.

Poor
and even non-existent adverse reporting systems are standard
procedure in the pharmaceutical industry. Most people don't know
that the release onto the market of a new drug or vaccine is actually
the final phase of the new drug trial called Phase IV. When thousands
of people are prescribed a new drug, they are unwittingly
participating in the largest, most poorly controlled drug study in
the world, as this is generally the phase when the 100,000 to 200,000
deaths per year noted earlier occur. Neither the pharmaceutical
industry nor the FDA requires mandatory reporting of adverse
reactions or even death - it is entirely voluntary. 40% of
all doctors don't even know that an adverse reaction reporting
system exists. And in a profound and deadly conflict of interest, the
marketing department responsible for recouping the hundreds of
millions of dollars invested in developing the new drug is also in
charge of tracking and compiling any adverse reactions that would get
the drug pulled from the market. This legal but flawed system is why
so many deaths occur before the FDA pulls the product from the
marketplace, as the delay and obfuscation can mean millions and
millions of dollars for the pharmaceuticals before the drug's
demise.

Dark History of the Smallpox Vaccine

The
premeditated ineffectiveness of tracking systems to monitor vaccine
injuries, chronic diseases and death is designed to obscure the
unscientific foundation of the entire concept of smallpox
vaccination. Dr. Edward Jenner, the creator of the smallpox vaccine
in 1796, based the vaccine on a mistaken superstition of the era that
milkmaids or farmers who had been infected with cowpox developed
immunity to smallpox. (Cowpox is a non-lethal, ulcerative disease on
the udders of a cow which sometimes causes ulcers on the hands of
milkmaids or farmers who milk them.) But as historical records show,
many of Jenner's medical contemporaries immediately disputed his
claim by noting that had he polled any number of veterinarians in his
county, he could have easily uncovered dozens of cases of smallpox in
humans that had followed infection by cowpox. This supposition–that
cowpox gives humans natural immunity from smallpox–was never proven
by Jenner or any other practitioner of vaccination from his era, and
has never been tested or proven by any of the pharmaceuticals who
produce the vaccine today. The very basis of the smallpox vaccine is
fundamentally flawed.

To
test his vaccine, Jenner infected six children including his own
infant son, with various experimental "brews" including cowpox,
swinepox and horse grease–the grease from horses' hooves. His
experiments killed an eight year old boy in a matter of days from an
uncontrolled ulcerative infection from the "horse grease"
vaccine, and the children were never exposed to any smallpox
epidemics to test their resistance. Jenner waited only four years
before declaring that the vaccine that he named vaccinia
provided immunity from smallpox for life!

The
vaccine was made by slicing the abdomen of a cow, inserting pus from
human smallpox, waiting for it to fester, and then making a cut in a
human arm and inserting the festering pus from the diseased cow.
Because there was no refrigeration, a single strain of the vaccine
was sustained by passing it directly from the pustules on human arms
to human arms for decades, mixing and combining diseases from
countless humans, frequently "pauper" and orphaned children who
were used to propagate and maintain the virus. As historical records
clearly show, this grotesque practice added virus upon virus to the
vaccine as it spread blood-borne illnesses from human to human
including leprosy and syphilis, mostly among children who were the
main victims of vaccination. There are thousands of documented cases
of the vaccine infecting children with syphilis, as for example in
Italy in the early 1800s when 64 children were infected in one
vaccination incident alone. Because the vaccine frequently caused an
uncontrolled syphilitic canker, many doctors of the day considered
the vaccine itself to be syphilitic or at the very least,
contaminated with syphilis, and even Jenner understood this
connection as he treated the vaccine ulcers with mercury, the
treatment for syphilis at the time. The practice of vaccinating
directly from human arm to arm was not outlawed until the very end of
the 19th century, meaning that the majority of the vaccines were
created by passing viruses back and forth from human to human, to
animal and back to human again for a hundred years.

While
this may seem like far off and irrelevant history, it is extremely
important because the virus in the vaccine today is the same
vaccinia virus Jenner created over 200 years ago. And even more
disturbing, several independent labs have analyzed the active virus
in the vaccine and they do not know what it is! In 1939, the
University of Liverpool analyzed vaccinia and determined that
it is genetically distinct from both cowpox and smallpox. Several
other theories hypothesize that it is a hybrid of cowpox and smallpox
inadvertently mixed in early vaccinations; a weakened strain of
actual smallpox; or a virus evolved from horsepox that has since
become extinct (remember Jenner's experiments with horse grease at
one point in the origination of the vaccine). Agreed in all analyses
is that the virus does not occur in nature and is definitely not
cowpox, even though multiple sources such as the Encyclopedia
Britannica, ABC News, Nova Science and numerous other mainstream
medical sources all continue to repeat the double myth that the virus
in the vaccine is cowpox and that cowpox has been proven to provide
immunity from smallpox. (Interestingly, the CDC does not propagate
this myth, obscuring the origins of vaccinia so the public
doesn't know either the true history of its creation or the poor
science underlying the philosophy of the vaccine.)

Not
only was the vaccine immediately noted for causing injuries and
deaths, but doctors of the day emphatically pointed out that it
did not prevent smallpox. There are historical records from tests
on hundreds of patients from 1802-1810 in which doctors published the
results and submitted their statistics of overwhelming death and
injury to the government medical board in England. All of these tests
occurred outside of Jenner's control and all were abject failures.
In 1805 only a few years after the vaccine was introduced, "out of
504 vaccinated in England, 75 died from the vaccine and almost all
have had the small-pox, some sooner, some later, after their
vaccination", as recounted by Dr. William Rowley, a member of the
University of Oxford and of the Royal College of Physicians in
London, and Physician Extraordinary to Her Majesty's
Lying-in-Hospital. He continued "There is no question here of
supposition or calculation of probability, it is truth!" In
1799, a Dr. William Woodville conducted a study on several hundred
patients which resulted in many deaths and injuries as a direct
result of the vaccine. But when he tried to publish the negative
results of the trial, Dr. Jenner himself wrote "I entreated
him in the strongest terms, both by letter and conversation, not to
do a thing that would so much disturb the progress of vaccination"
in an attempt to censor the facts that ran contrary to Jenner's
theory.

Even
as Jenner ignored the evidence of harm and helped to suppress the
facts, he was already receiving government funding by an Act of
Parliament who had funded him in the hopes that a cure for smallpox
had been found. When the hundreds of reports of injury and death were
published during the early years of vaccination, the government
should have admitted to funding a faulty program and ended it.
Instead, they invested £20,000 in 1807 and £3,000
per year thereafter, accepting as "science" the claim that a
procedure only seven years old would protect from smallpox for life
thereby making vaccination a permanent source of income for the
medical profession.

If
it seems unbelievable that the government of England should fund a
medical procedure that not only didn't work but actually caused
serious harm, we need look no further than our own pharmaceutical
industry and government of today for the same pattern. Drugs continue
to be marketed even after they have been shown to cause death and
injury, and Bush continues to push his smallpox program by offering
$100 million to state programs to proceed even after the astronomical
percentage of deaths and injuries from the first phase of the
program, while censoring, obscuring and rewriting the terrible
science underlying this vaccine. Just as now, once vaccination became
entrenched in the medical society, doctors found a new and lucrative
source of income and industries sprang up which produced the vaccine
both by continuing the human to human method and by going back to the
cow to produce supposedly "pure" cow vaccine. However, in a test
of thirteen different brands of vaccine in 1900, not one was found to
be bacteriologically pure and in some, hundreds of colonies of
teaming germs were found.

Just
as there exists a controversy today about the safety and efficacy of
vaccines, Jenner's medical contemporaries immediately formed a
vocal Anti-Vaccinationist resistance movement to speak out against
the "transplanting of disease back and forth from animal to human."
Voluminous historical records display excellent science, careful
thinking and methodical observations of the vaccine and a record of
the same kinds of adverse reactions and deaths we see today. They
noted brain swelling and encephalitis, paralysis, blindness,
increased incidence of tuberculosis and pneumonia, and progressive
vaccinia in which the ulcerative sores caused by the vaccine
spread over the whole body down to the bone and organs causing a
terrible and painful death, some in a matter of days after the
administration of the vaccine and some over an extended period of
suffering. One such case was described in 1855 by a Dr. R. T. Trall
who stated, "I have seen within the last year a most horridly
loathsome case ... in which the patient literally rotted alive at the
age of 15, from unhealthy virus [vaccine] received when he was but
three years of age." (As grotesque as it may seem, the bodies of
the victims were so overrun with the deadly virus that they
frequently decomposed in a matter of hours as if the corpse had been
dead for weeks.) Today this condition is called "progressive or
generalized vaccinia" where the ulcer that forms at the vaccine
site grows uncontrollably – we have had three cases during
Bush's program that we are aware of. (See accompanying picture.)
That it took 12 years in this case for the vaccinia virus to
progress to death shows again how it takes time for the full effects
of the vaccine to develop, and because of the limited time frame
involved in Bush's smallpox program, that death would never be
attributed to the vaccine even though the illness began directly
after receiving it.

The
number and type of adverse reactions were so consistent and so
numerous that physicians actually named the condition "Vaccine
Disease", a recognized diagnosis that carried with it a defined and
universally recognized set of symptoms. Dr. Stowell spoke for many
doctors of his day in 1870 when he said "...it is irrational to say
that any corrupt matter taken from boils and blisters of an organic
creature could affect the human body otherwise than to injure it."

By the 1850's, much of Europe made
vaccination mandatory under threat of fine and imprisonment and it is
during these years that we can truly see not only how ineffective the
vaccine was at stopping the spread of smallpox but that the vaccine
actually increased the incidence of smallpox. (See accompanying
chart.) If the science of vaccination worked, it should have
prevented epidemics in the first place but instead, while the
population of England increased 16% during the years of compulsory
vaccination, smallpox deaths increased 160%, a figure that does not
include the deaths from the vaccine itself. Using official records
from government medical registries from town after town in Europe,
the same pattern is repeated over and over of increased incidence of,
and death from, smallpox among the vaccinated.

Before vaccination was made mandatory
in England, the highest recorded death rate from smallpox was 2,000
for any two year period. However after 20 years of compulsory
vaccination when nearly all of the population had been vaccinated
(96.5% from age 2 to 50), the death rate during the epidemic of 1871
was 23,000. Germany (Prussia) was over 95% vaccinated, enforced
multiple revaccinations every few years and kept the best vaccination
records in Europe. Yet they still recorded over 1,000,000 cases of
smallpox during the 1871 epidemic, suffering the highest death rate
in all of Europe of 124,000, all of whom had been registered
as vaccinated. As the Chancellor of Germany said at the time, "the
hopes placed in the efficacy of the cowpox virus as a preventative of
smallpox have proved entirely deceptive."

In report after report from city and
health officials, hospital records repeatedly show 90% and more of
smallpox patients had been fully vaccinated. And in a report
published in the British Medical Journal, Dr. L. Parry analyzed
vaccination statistics from the 19th century concluding, "smallpox
is five times more likely to be fatal in the vaccinated as in the
unvaccinated."

Anti-Vaccinationists pointed to the
town of Leicester, England for proof that vaccination actually
increased smallpox deaths. Leicester suffered 3,500 deaths per
million of its 95% vaccinated population during that same epidemic of
1871 but when the people saw how many suffered and died from the
vaccination itself, and then how many of the fully vaccinated died
during the epidemic, they rose up in unison with their town officials
and became the first town in England to officially resist mandatory
vaccination. Dire predictions of catastrophe and death from
pro-vaccinationists followed, but instead, in less than 20 years the
numbers reversed and 95% were unvaccinated. When individual outbreaks
of smallpox occurred, they were isolated by the community and given
quality medical care and general assistance instead of vaccination.
No case of smallpox ever grew into an epidemic again, giving
Leicester the lowest smallpox mortality rate of any town in England.

By
the 1890's, resistance to mandatory vaccination was so fierce in
England that Parliament empowered a Royal Commission to try and
understand why England was still experiencing smallpox epidemics even
though the vast majority of its population was vaccinated. The great
scientist and thinker Alfred Russel Wallace, a colleague of Charles
Darwin, was invited to report to the Commission on the safety and
efficacy of smallpox vaccination. The evidence submitted by Wallace
and the other Anti-Vaccinationist doctors showed overwhelmingly that
cowpox had never been proven to provide immunity from smallpox; that
an impure and dangerous vaccine was created by both passing diseased
pus from human to human and from diseased cow matter; that the
vaccine did not prevent smallpox; that revaccination did not prevent
smallpox; that the vaccine itself was causing multiple injuries and
deaths; that the vaccine actually increased the incidence of
smallpox; and that the reporting system for smallpox injury and death
was inadequate because the numbers of deaths and injuries from the
vaccine were vastly underreported. Through the sustained resistance
of the Anti-Vaccination movement, mandatory vaccination was finally
repealed in England in 1898.

While these facts stand in stark
contrast to all we have been taught about smallpox epidemics, in
reviewing original historical medical sources, publications and
statistics from the past two hundred years, it becomes clear that
infectious diseases other than smallpox declined 90% before mass
vaccination was ever introduced. The decline in smallpox was actually
delayed by vaccination and the cessation of vaccination did more to
end smallpox than vaccination ever did. Instead, medical experts of
today and the past attribute the cessation of all epidemic diseases
such as measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria to
improvements in sanitation and nutrition. Just prior to 1800, a major
sanitation reform movement designed and implemented drainage systems
to move human waste out of the streets where it currently flowed and
into plumbing systems; to regularly clean streets and stables of
horse manure and human waste; to improve roads so that vegetables and
milk could be transported to cities and distributed while fresh; and
to upgrade the water supply to prevent bacterial contamination. All
the old terror diseases such as plague, black death and cholera
responded to these reforms without vaccination and all epidemics
declined throughout the 1800's except for smallpox, which surged
with mandatory vaccination and declined only after it ended. After
the massive epidemic of 1871, Germany embarked on a national campaign
to clean their cities and build a drainage system throughout the
entire country which finally caused smallpox to become virtually
extinct in less than 30 years, something which mandatory vaccination
did not accomplish in 60 years. Even the CDC reported in 1999 that
infectious diseases declined in the past century due to improvements
in sanitation, water and hygiene.

An extraordinary number of scientists
and first-class thinkers have objected to vaccination since its
creation including Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw, Voltaire, Mark Twain,
and in the 20th century, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. In the United
States, over 300 children (that we know of) died from the smallpox
vaccine between 1948 and 1971 while there wasn't a single reported
case of smallpox! Professor Ari Zuckerman, a member of the World
Health Organization's advisory panel on viruses stated
"Immunization against smallpox is more hazardous than the disease
itself," and the American Medical Association, the Association of
American Physicians and Surgeons, the American Academy of Pediatrics
and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommended against
use of the smallpox vaccine. And even though the World Health
Organization claims credit for the eradication of smallpox worldwide
through vaccination, the facts tell us that smallpox declined in
countries around the world whether the population had been vaccinated
or not. As Australian Dr. Glen Dittman said in 1986, "It is
pathetic and ludicrous to say we vanquished smallpox with vaccines,
when only 10% of the population were ever vaccinated."

Homeland Security Bill Allows Forced
Vaccinations

The
history of the smallpox vaccine and the resistance movement against
it becomes extremely informative now that history is repeating itself
in the passage of the Homeland Security Bill and state laws called
the Model Health Emergency Powers Act (MEHPA). MEHPA and Section 304
of the Homeland Security Bill function like the Patriot Act of
healthcare, except instead of depriving us of our civil liberties,
they deprive us of our most fundamental right of all - the
ownership of our own bodies. Section 304 makes mandatory vaccination
and other medical treatments legal once again, making refusal a crime
punishable by fine and/or prison. It calls for forced quarantine and
isolation of individuals and even entire cities, allows for the
confiscation of property of anyone who refuses treatment and
authorizes the military to enforce the medical treatment or
quarantine. An actual act of bioterrorism isn't even necessary, a
"potential" emergency will suffice such as the current smallpox
delusion in which Americans are injected with the most dangerous
vaccine in history for protection against a disease that died out
over 30 years ago and for which no credible threat of its use as a
bioweapon has ever been received. (Note that during mandatory
vaccination in England, an average of 2,000 parents a year were
prosecuted and jailed for refusing to allow their children to be
vaccinated and hundreds had their homes and possessions confiscated.)
This power to inject our bodies with toxic poisons like the smallpox
vaccine rests entirely with two individuals - Health and Human
Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and President Bush. In a cynical
move that protects the government and manufacturers from the history
of deception and bad science, no public figure can be held
accountable for any harm or death that the medical procedure may
produce. This protection extends to the manufacturer of the vaccine,
eliminating any financial incentive to create a safe vaccine or
responsibly investigate the efficacy of any vaccination program.

Pharmaceuticals become BioWeapons
Factories

The
fraudulent science of the smallpox vaccine and the draconian laws of
the Homeland Security Bill set the stage for a radical revision of
the mission and purpose of the pharmaceuticals. Ominously, the first
bioterror countermeasure that the BioShield bill calls for
development is another smallpox vaccine that uses the same, deadly
vaccinia virus in the current vaccine but has additional
dangerous potential effects because it is genetically engineered,
another science that has a dark history of injuries, diseases, deaths
and cover-ups. The bill also calls for development of bioterror drugs
and vaccines in response to anthrax, botulinum toxin, plague and
ebola. In order to develop drugs and vaccines that are supposed to
respond to biological and chemical warfare agents, the companies will
have to create and store the actual agent itself. Until now,
bioweapons have been handled and stored at labs such as Fort Detrick,
labs which are supposed to operate under strict controls with
guidelines for safety set out by the U.S. government (not that the
government labs have been models of efficiency as their poor past
record and accidental releases have shown). But the BioShield bill
sets out no provisions for the handling of these agents or any safety
measures at all, even though the Bill effectively turns the
pharmaceuticals into new bioweapons factories.

$6 billion dollars may be a small price to pay if the
pharmaceuticals can accomplish the goal as set out in the bill - to
protect us from biological and chemical attack. But common sense
tells us, any country technologically advanced enough to create,
store and modify a bioweapon for release would be competent enough to
alter or genetically engineer it in any number of ways that would
make the creation of a drug or vaccine to that particular strain of
bioweapon impossible. Will the bioterrorists really be so cooperative
as to create only those few weapons for which the pharmaceuticals
have developed and warehoused countermeasures? Since the
pharmaceuticals said it would be unethical to test bioweapon
countermeasures on humans and pushed the FDA for the exemption from
human testing, why is it ethical to use the Homeland Security Bill to
force people under threat of imprisonment, fine or quarantine, to
take these same untested medicines?

The Bush
Administration is perpetrating a Pharmaceutical Scam justified by the
"war on terror", rewarding the pharmaceuticals for the $262
million they invested to get Bush elected, more than any other
industry. The bill substantially enriches the pharmaceuticals by
creating a virtually endless supply of cash for the creation of
untested drugs and vaccines to be warehoused for possible use against
the public. Tommy Thompson's stated goal is that every "American
man, woman and child will have a vaccine with their name on it",
and hundreds of million of dollars are being invested to bring that
goal to reality even as the deaths and injuries in the current
program continue to mount. He has stated that even one case of
smallpox will unleash a massive program of forced vaccination through
the Homeland Security bill, vaccinating or quarantining every
American to "protect" them from the uncontrolled threat. But
there is no historical precedent or evidence to support the notion
that one person infected with smallpox will set off an chain reaction
infecting millions and millions of people. And a compliant media
disseminates every myth the government feeds it without checking any
sources or seeking precedents.

A tragic situation has been created
in which the best scenario for the American people is that their
money will be wasted by letting these untested vaccines remain
forever warehoused, although the best scenario would have been not to
create them in the first place and instead spend the money on real
health care problems. But the precedent was set when they pulled the
40 year old smallpox vaccine out of the warehouse and without even a
hint of a threat of smallpox attack, released it on the US
population, making the Bush administration the real bioterrorist. As
Dr. Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence and
physician to George Washington said ten years before the creation of
the smallpox vaccine, "Unless we put medical freedom into the
Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an
undercover dictatorship."
